Back to Kinver


We wanted to moor at Kinver again so we could visit the Rock Houses. These are amazing houses actually hewn into the sandstone rock high above the charming village of Kinver. They were inhabited until 1937 by families whose menfolk worked in the surrounding iron works. This fascinating piece of social history has been restored and preserved by the National Trust.

It was well worth the visit not only to the rock houses but also to Kinver Edge, which is a labyrinth of amazing trails.  One of these climbs to the highest point where there is a 360-° panoramic view over five counties, and across to the Cotswolds, the Malven Hills and to Wales.
